contractions?

My due date was the 22nd. And im 2cm dilated already. Idk if ive been having contractions or just pains from being pregnant. My lower back has throbbing sharp pains during the day.. but its not an off an on thing. Its constant. And then at night, i get period like cramps when i lay down.  But when i sit up, they seem to go away. Im a ftm, and not really sure what to expect. Im being induced this Thursday. Does anyone think i should go to the hospital if it happens again tonight? I need opinions.

Contractions wont go away even if you sit up. I learned that when i went into labor. I went to the hospital and i was having them four mins apart but was dilated 3cm. I decided to go home and i came back that evening having contractions still but three mins apart. But they don't stop no matter what you do

I say no, they wont admit u unless ur contractions r 5 mins apart for at least an hour. Or if ur water breaks obviously. Real labor contractions wont stop hurting no matter what u do, so ur just having false labor contractions right now. Hope that helps.
